Our on-line Avid DS systems can work with .r3d

In cooperation with RED Digital Cinema, Avid has come up with support for shooting materials in .r3d format without the need to convert them into DPX or TIFF sequences. The conversion and preparation of materials for online used to take several hours before the actual work could even begin. Now, after finishing editing your project, you can continue working in Avid DS online within a few minutes regardless of the extent of the edited material.

Step-by-step from shooting to online

1. the footage is imported into Avid Media Composer (1 hour of footage usually takes 2 hours to be imported)
2. offline in HD resolution (required time according to one´s needs)
3. preparation and export of the edit list (5 minutes)
4. import of the edit list and setting parameters of the project for online (5 minutes)
5. online in Avid DS (required time according to one´s needs)
6. conversion to a tape or export into a desired format
